SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? SaaS businesses lose subscribers through voluntary cancellations and failed payments, often without any system to save them. This Skill provides structured frameworks for building cancel flows, matching save offers to cancellation reasons, predicting at-risk customers, and recovering failed payments. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Cancel Flow Design: Build multi-step cancellation flows with exit surveys, dynamic save offers mapped to cancellation reasons, and compliant confirmation steps. - Dunning & Payment Recovery: Implement pre-dunning card expiry alerts, smart retry schedules, and escalating dunning email sequences to recover involuntary churn. - Churn Prediction: Create health scores from usage, engagement, and billing signals to trigger proactive retention interventions before customers cancel. - Use Case: A $49/month SaaS product with 7% monthly churn uses this Skill to design an exit survey with reason-matched offers (discounts, pauses, downgrades), set up Stripe Smart Retries with a 4-email dunning sequence, and build a health score model to flag at-risk accounts. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to design a cancel flow with exit survey and save offers for your subscription product, including a dunning strategy for failed payments.

FAQPage Schema
How do I design a cancel flow to reduce SaaS churn?

Structure the flow as trigger, exit survey, dynamic save offer, confirmation, and post-cancel steps. Map save offers to cancellation reasons, such as discounts for price concerns or pauses for low usage, and keep the continue-cancelling option clearly visible.

How do I recover failed subscription payments?

Use a dunning stack: pre-dunning card expiry alerts, smart retries timed over 7-10 days, a four-email escalation sequence, and a grace period before pausing the account. Card updater services from Visa and Mastercard reduce hard declines by 30-50%.

What save offers work best for each cancellation reason?

Match offers to reasons: discounts of 20-30% for price concerns, 1-3 month pauses for low usage, roadmap previews for missing features, and support escalation for technical issues. Avoid blanket discounts since they do not address non-price reasons.

Does Stripe support automatic payment retries and dunning?

Yes. Stripe Smart Retries uses machine learning to pick optimal retry timing and is enabled in Dashboard billing settings. Stripe also includes built-in dunning emails and automatic card updater support.

How do I identify customers at risk of churning before they cancel?

Build a health score from weighted signals: login frequency, feature usage, support sentiment, billing health, and engagement. Score 0-100 and tier responses, from proactive check-ins at 60-79 to personal outreach below 40.

What are the limits of pause subscriptions as a save offer?

Pauses beyond three months rarely reactivate, so cap duration at 1-3 months and allow one pause per 12-month period. Send reactivation emails 7 days and 1 day before the pause ends to improve return rates.
